How the Duolingo Score tracks your learning progress

How the Duolingo Score tracks your learning progress

If you love your streak, here's a new number to obsess over!

Tracking your progress on Duolingo has never been easier! Introducing: the Duolingo Score.

Here's everything you need to know about your Duolingo Score and what it means.

What is the Duolingo Score?

The Duolingo Score is a simple, clear way to understand your progress through your course. When you know your Duolingo Score, you know how much of the course material you've completed, what you can do with the language at that level, and how you're progressing towards your goals. (Like certifying your English with the Duolingo English Test!)

(Not to mention you can compare your score across languages and compete against your friends!)

If you're in a course that's aligned to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), you'll find your Score next to your course flag. If you're new to the course, complete Unit 1 to unlock your score, and if you're already in a course with the Duolingo Score, simply do a lesson and your score will appear!

Unlike a CEFR level, which covers a broad range of material (sometimes multiple sections of your course!), the Duolingo Score gives you a granular measure of what you've learned.

What does my Duolingo Score mean?

The Duolingo Score is a measure of what you can do with the language you've learned so far. It allows learners around the globe to gauge their progress and see how their friends and family are doing, too.

Your Duolingo Score is out of 160 points-just like the Duolingo English Test-and our most advanced courses currently cover content through 120 (the end of the CEFR level B2).

As you complete more lessons and advance through the units of your course, your Score increases. And, of course, doing more lessons leads to better learning!
